y IMPRQVEMENT IN saws.'

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part ofthe same.

To all -whom 'it mag/ concern y ,g

Beit known that I, JonN P.' TYLER, of PennYan,

"ates, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Saws; and I do hereby declare that the' following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making apart of this specification, in which the figure is a side view of a portion ofthe saw.`

Heretofore saws have been made with pairs of fleam or cutting-teeth, and with pairs of chisel-shaped clearing-teeth; and pairs of Hearn-teeth have been used with a single tapering clearing-tooth.

In these saws diiiculty is experienced in maintaining the propel' set of the death-teeth, because they have usually been made of considerable length, and liable to bend, or else only in single pairs, and-not reliable in cutting ofi' the grain ofthe wood, and the kerf grows narrower, and the saw binds.

Another difficulty has arisen fromL the space for sawdust being too small for the accumulation in sawing through large-timber. v

The nature of my said invention consists in a saw formed of two pairs of iieam or cutting-teeth, with a space betweenv the pairs for the reception of dust from the iirst pair, `that the operation of the second pair may not be obstructed, in combination with intel'- mediate pairs of tapering clearing-teeth the spaces between which clearing-teeth are less than the spaces between the eam and clearing-teeth, therebya large space is left for the reception of the larger portions of the sawdust between the iirst clearer andthe iieamteeth, and the space between the iirst and second clearer is less, being only sufiicient to contain the dust and small particles behind the rst clearer, thereby preventing their interfering with the following pairs of leam or scoring-teeth.

By this construction, the saw is adapted to use in crosscut-sawing. All the teeth areoperative in either direction, and the spaces for the sawdust are proportioned to the amount that each will receive; thereby l am enabled to get as many teeth as possible into the saw, and maintain the necessary proportion of dustspace to/the cutting and clearing-teeth, and the Hearnteeth are of a shape to maintain their set, and the consequent widthof the saw-kerf.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its inode of construction and operation.

I use the ordinary saw-blade, of any sizeor thickness required.

A and Aare clearing-teeth. They are made between the pairs of cutting-teeth,as shown in the figure. The space, between them is not so deep into blade for the purpose of keeping the points o f the teeth in the line ofthe blade whenv cutting gnarly timber. l'lhe'space between the'cutting and clearing-teeth is deeper', for

the purpose of making more room vfor the chi-ps, and this the only place' that space can be made for chips, without weakening some of the teeth. v

- B and B are iieam-teeth, that are set one way, and O and G are iieam-teeth,'set in the opposite'direction suicient to give the size of kerf required. The

space between the two Hearn-teeth next to the clearing-teeth is of lessl depth7 for the purpose 4of' making the teeth stronger, so that they will hold their pointsin position when cutting all kinds' of timber, or in the various directions 'that timber is required to becut. The space between this, pair of cutting-teeth and the adjoining pair of cutting-teeth ismade deeper into the blade, for the purpose of making the angle at the points of the teeth moreacute, and makingthe space forth.

JOHN' P. TYLER.
